You can't just throw out one bad leader and then suddenly expect peace. I think Egypt is heading in the correct direction, but with too high of expectations. The chaos could even take a turn for the worse and more ruckus and mayhem could erupt from the hate being produced by the few "haters" of the elections. I think Egypt is hardly in the clear, and much tim and effort are going to have to be put in to clear up this chaos.

elections or no elections, democratic or not, the Muslim Brotherhood and, now turned "moderate" by the Western powers, is the best ally for capitalist democracies because it will not challenge this type of democracy whereas the Egyptians will continue their struggle for social justice that cannot be achieved through elections and a regime supported by the Western powers

The Muslim Brotherhood has not changed one iota. What has changed is that the West has chosen to ignore this and is simply executing their only option, which is hope. Of course, I was always taught that hope is not a strategy so I can't imagine what they are expecting as the outcome.

It seems like there is hope for Egypt with the upcoming elections but there is still a chance that there will be corruption and fraud taking place during the election. Once in power it is hard to let go of it.

Countries will not benefit greatly from the chaos occurring in Egypt. Either way the countries that may benefit, they will eventually end up in a loose. I think the US needs to respond in a more assertiveness, more specifically, Obama needs to focus on these uprising foreign distress.

Even though this conflict in Egypt is cause for anger and uprising, the violence has to stop. Rioting by the citizens will solve nothing. It is time for other countries to promote outside influence in order to save Egypt from getting behind in all this time being wasted.

I think it is way to early to tell who is the real beneficiary in Egypt. I personally don't even see any real benefits coming about for anyone over the next few years. Once the bad leaders are overthrown, someone else will come into power who is just as evil as the rest of them. The rebels right now have nothing to be scared of so I do not see this situation getting any better.

The generals need to stop what they're doing for not only the sake of egypt, but for the sake of their own power. There is no way after everything that happened the world will just stand around and let a military government take over because that is how many dictators began their careers in africa. It doesn't matter if they would have done a good job or not.

The Muslim Brotherhood … as predicted here … are the BIG winners in the elections … there's NO NEWS THERE … the news will be WHAT THEY DO WITH THEIR VOTING APPEAL …

Can they change the economic situation of the country? NO

Can they become the 'hope' of a 'better Egypt' through their leadership? NO

Can they bring a pluralistic … egalitarian … civil society … under the 'Rule of Law' to ALL EGYPTIANS? NO

Can they maintain civil power … into the future? YES … since they're 'partners' with the MILITARY JUNTA … who will allow the MB to rule but not lead Egypt into UNNECESSARY FOREIGN ADVENTURES.

Qatar and Saudi Arabia … will be playing hardball with Egypt … they'll attempt to push and pull Egypt into their 'sphere of influence' … since these 2 countries are opposed to each other and will 'USE' Egypt in their battle for Sunni supremacy. Neither … Qatar or Saudi Arabia WANT Egypt to become … secular … civil society … Western-oriented … Rule of Law … separate Religion from State … Christians Minority given EQUAL RIGHTS … it ain't on the table

I predict a move by Egypt to move towards a Turkish-style democracy … which means a hollowing out of democratic rule in favour of Islamism … and eventual CONFLICT WITH ISRAEL … this is the Future … it may take a decade to get there but that's the Future …

It seems that the revolutionaries have every right to take to the streets- they fought and died for a new Egypt and instead replaced one dictator with a coalition of equally inept and repressive leaders. Any elections held will inevitably favor the established power structure and it wouldn't be surprising if the former ruling party was able to hold to margin of power while the Muslim Brotherhood takes a sizable majority. Does anyone pushing for a new liberal democracy in Egypt want this dynamic?

Violence just spurs more violence. The rebels are taking it too far and now there's no social cohesion in Egypt. I don't like Mubarak, but under his control there wasn't as much violence...well in the part of the rebels. Just because they got what they wanted before doesn't mean their irrational actions will get them any further now for their demands for more free and rights. They're taking it overboard and honestly, they seem a little naive.

I think the biggest benefit-ors from the chaos going on in Europe will be those high up in the current government and possibly those that trade with europe. with all the chaos going on i think thing will start to get deregulated and the party in power, if they end up losing power will definitely try to swindle out as much money as possible. I also think those who trade with egypt will benefit because those in charge will want to trade mode to get more money in the country and in their pockets before they leave.

As of right now I don't think anybody is sure who will benefit from Egypt. The Generals have made poor decisions in stabilizing the country which only lead to conflict. The developing violence and chaos makes it look like Egypt was better off with its former leader Mubarak. The decision making by the generals has been poor and what they promised has not been reached. this is why the people are angry, they want democracy and public elections. However, it looks as if public elections may not be their best option. With the overwhelming chaos in the country the use of elections my cause more trouble for the government. The Egyptian army is diminishing because of the constant violence and they can not control their people. Some form of democracy needs to be established soon or nobody will benefit form Egypt.

The outcome of Egypt's election might set the tone for the entire Arab Spring. There is so much potential in all of these Middle Eastern countries. The United States on one hand adamantly wants a strong ally in Egypt, post election, much like it's previous relationship with the country. If elections do not favor pro democracy countries like America, I could see the entire outlook on the Arab uprising to quickly turn sour. Public opinion rests on Egypt's shoulders.

I think people soon forget how long a revolution takes to occur. It simply doesn't happen overnight or within a few months. The Egyptian citizen's took the first steps by overthrowing Mubarak but now they must deal with a new set of rulers who have proven to be useless. Egypt needs to have its elections soon or the chaos and protests will only get worse. The people in the government now - regardless of how much they have helped - need to step down to atleast show their citizens that the government is trying to move in the right direction.

Historically, many revolutions which overthrew corrupt or inadequate regimes did not initially succeed at replacing the incompetent leaders with a successful form of government. I fear this may be the situation in Egypt as those currently in charge my attempt to cling to power.

Egypt was the first country to go through the "Arab Spring", and it is also one of the first countries that has allowed for its citizens to vote. Egyptians have recently lined up to vote for a Parliament that will hopefully represent the people. Most Egyptians are skeptic that their votes will be truly counted, as the military is still in power and has demanded extra time to count the ballots in the central designated areas. The Islamic Brotherhood will most likely have the most seats in the Parliament, they are the best organized group.

I think violence is what these people know. If something happens that they don't agree with they are going to lash out with violence. So yes if something goes wrong in these elections more violence is going to break out. These people are not going to stop until they get what they want and they feel well represented.

Thats the problem with rebels. When a group of homegrown rebels band together and are actually able to overthrow the bad government, what do they do? There is no quick transition to a new govt. There are too many people that have different opinions and the only one that is heard is the one backed with the most guns. So who will benefit from the chaos? nobody. What these rebels needs is someone that they can rally behind and support. Until then, more people will fight and more will die.

I do not think that anyone could truly benefit from the chaos that has taken over Egypt. And hopefully this chaos and violence will not become the solution to all of the people's problems in the future. But, Egypt is turning over a new leaf and we will see what happens in this turning point in history. Time will tell if it is a turn for the better or worse.
